Official route of the 2026 Three Kings Parade in Valencia
According to the organization, the choice of the Marina Norte as the point of arrival seeks to increase the visibility and the space available for the attending public.
Later, at 5:30 p.m., the parade will depart from the Puente de las Flores (Bridge of Flowers) to go through the main streets of the city center.
The itinerary will run along Paseo de la Alameda, Navarro Reverter, Puerta del Mar, General Palanca, General Tovar and Paz streets, Plaza de la Reina and San Vicente street, ending at the Town Hall square.
The Gala Mounted Police will open the way to an entourage composed of floats, dancers, acrobats, historical characters and entertainment groups of local associations and companies.
In 2026, the parade will feature “Selene, the Goddess of Illusion”, a five-meter-high structure designed exclusively for the city. In addition, each Wise Man will have an entourage accompanied by a different artistic proposal, through the hiring of Valencian companies.
The main event will take place upon arrival at the Town Hall Square, with the Adoration that will take place on a raised platform in front of the town hall door.
This moment will have musical ambience and will be coordinated with a fireworks display fired from the roof of the municipal building.
To access the main balcony, Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar will use a firemen’s escalator. From there they will address their message to the citizens.
The City Council will distribute 2,500 chairs along the route at a cost of 4 euros, in addition to areas reserved for people with reduced mobility.
The event will be broadcast by media signal and through giant screens in the square, which will intersperse the live broadcast with aerial shots captured by drones.
